Fun fact I unsuccessfully pitched Coinbase on making their own USD stablecoin in late 2016 / early 2017 and wrote up a whole spec for it :P

But big subscriber to ideas are cheap and it's all about the execution i.e. team that ended up launching USDC crushed it and timing was great

I wish they’d took the risk and trusted you tho

Wasn't worth the risk back when I pitched it (market was way different then obviously)

damn this is great lore. have always wondered why coinbase didn't do their own earlier

Love historical nuggets like that. Please share more as you recall them. What was the reason it wasn't pursued back then? 

But more importantly...

How long before the revenge of the 'idea guy'?
gc asking as a fellow subscriber who has been rethinking the adage

it's: idea, execution, timing, market, luck

all 5 should be present, even if 1 is missing it's ngmi!

this is insane, but after all executions is what matters in the end

Timing really is such a huge part of it. Even the best ideas need the right market conditions to hit.

Linda it's really good to see you've been in the space a while, with a product under your belt. Talk about good progress. Would you consider shipping another product in the future?
